Hi Quentin,From the sample, it seems very well written and practicallyinteractive, which should really help.Most prominently though, I found the pricing very impartial andmutually acceptible, as although I may not be able to purchase thiseven to support NVDA due to not being a working person myself, but afriend of mine is trying to learn and figure out using a computer withNVDA, and my guidance significantly limited due to my own academicconstraints are not sufficient, I am pretty sure he would be willingto purchase this e-book.I will forward this announcement release to other platforms too, somaximum people interested to begin using NVDA even as a transition canefficiently do so.Thanks.

I think what is needed here is another donate page for the countries wherethe cost is going to be difficult to obtain due to local governmentpolicies or sheer poverty. I'm sure some of us would do a separate donation

for this if we were assured somebody was administering it for the needy in a

reliable way. I've been involved before in so called charity giving withmiddle men and have usually ended up wondering who nicked the momey!

I am employed by the Institute for the Blind in Worcester, South Africa. Iam involved in training adult blind persons, mostly from our so-called“previously disadvantaged” communities. These people, under normalcircumstances receive a state grant of, if I convert it to Australian dollar

at a rate of ten to one, fourteen dollar.

Our institution is usually obliged to write off their study costs. So what I

am driving at, is to ask whether it might be possible to obtain a copy ofthe training material at a discount or, at best, free of charge.

I understand that the development of NVDA doesn’t come cheep, and I, as ablind person myself, genuinely appreciate what is done. To my mind NVDA isprobably the best speech program available. I don’t just say this because it

is the correct thing to do, this is my true opinion.

Please don’t feel that it is your duty to give us the material for free, or

at a discount, I am just enquiring.

Thanks again for everything that you, and whoever else, do to provide theblind community, world wide, with this brilliant package.

A very good question. It is something that's come up in discussion. As you

note, it is a lot of work to translate and we do very much appreciate thework that you are already doing.

The priority to date has been getting the material released electronicallyinitially. Now that is done we are working to make it available in audioand braille (in English) and also setting up the certification exam.

We will definitely look at the question of translation although to startwith we don't want to put any extra on your shoulders just yet.
